The Green Cathedral seen from the outside |
Where it is different from the real Cathedral is that it is an outline of the Rheims Cathedral defined by trees.
Inside the Green Cathedral |
About 20 years after it was started the artwork was "completed" in 1996 and is expected to reach its full height in 2015.
Unfortunately the Green Cathedral in Almere is not easy to find by outsiders because directions to the Green Cathedral are limited and not strategically located. The weathered billboard in front of the Green Cathedral is also unreadable.
Regardless of these shortcomings, the Green Cathedral certainly is a Dutch architectural and artistic gem.
